EZ-Temp Advanced Light-Cure Temporary Restorative for

Inlays and Onlays — Quick and Easy Removal!

Text and photography by Dr. Ron Jackson

Placement of Inlay and Onlay Temporaries Using E-Z Temp Resin Material

Formulated for making temporary inlays and onlays, E-Z Temp is a non-sticky, light cured resin

filling material that can be placed directly in the prepared cavity and built up in 5-second curing

increments. No matrix is required, and proper occlusion can be easily established after

placement because the material carves like soap after curing. It reaches a semi-hard state,

absorbing water slightly, thus sealing and retaining itself in the prepared cavity, yet remains

slightly flexible to simplify removal at the second appointment.

The need for cement cleanup is eliminated, and because of the resin’s special chemistry and

self-seal properties, no stain is left on the cavity floor and a highly positive response to the

gingival tissues is ensured.

A non-eugenol formulation, the material also is suitable for endodontic access temporaries,

implant screw access temporaries, emergency repair of lost fillings or fractured teeth and non-

vital bleaching temporaries.

A kit contains a four-gram syringe of material, 3-grams of water-soluble separator, and

instructions. (Figure 1)

Following is a step-by-step technique presented and photographed by Dr. Ron Jackson for

placing an E-Z Temp temporary restoration in a lower 1st molar. (Figure 2)

Placing the Temporary

1) The tooth has been prepared for an esthetic onlay and the dentin has been sealed with

an adhesive. Additionally, a thin layer of flowable composite has been placed as a liner

and to block out undercuts. The occlusal enamel walls are refinished before making an

impression. (Figure 3)

2) Following the impression, water soluble separator is applied with a brush to all bonded

areas. (Figure 4)

3) Place an initial 1.0 – 2.0 mm increment of E-Z Temp into the cavity and cure for 5

seconds for lights with greater than 800 mw/cm2 output. Note: The material can be

pressed into place with a finger, shaped and sculpted with a plastic instrument.

(Figure 5)

4) A second increment is placed in the same manner taking care not to extend the material

beyond the gingival margin. (Figure 6) Note: The material has been built directly to the

adjacent tooth contact, and the extension of some material into the subcontact areas

aids in retention.

5) Form the final increment with a plastic instrument and/or a gloved finger in a wiping

motion at the occlusal margins. (Figure 7) Note: Before curing ask the patient to close,

thus imprinting the occlusion. Light cure 5 seconds before carving.

6) Mark the occlusion with articulating paper and carve with an amalgam carver such as

Premier’s 5T. (Figures 8 & 9) Note: At this point, the material shaves like soap and

carves easily. It is recommended to carve the temporary out of occlusion.

7) When complete, light cure the temporary an additional 5 seconds from occlusal, buccal

and lingual. (Figure 10)

Patient Instructions

1) As with all temporaries, the patient should chew on the opposite side, especially when

chewing hard or sticky foods.

2) Patients can brush the temporized tooth but should not floss.

Removing the Temporary

Figure 11 shows the appearance of the temporary three weeks after placement. When the

dentin is sealed at the preparation visit, many patients will not need to be anesthetized at

placement.

1) Use a scaler or spoon excavator to tease the temporary occlusally. The instrument is

placed below the contact alternating between buccal and lingual and mesial and distal if

it is an MOD preparation. (Figure 12)

2) The material has some flex and it usually lifts out quickly in one piece if undercuts have

been adequately blocked out. (Figures 13 & 14)

3) Upon removal, the cavity will be found to be clean and without stain. (Figure 15)

4) The esthetic Premise Indirect onlay is shown bonded into place. (Figure 16)
